Happiness

what is happiness?
Everybody has their own definition about happiness.
In genneral, happiness is the good feelings, emotions that people try to have.
For some people, happiness is material such as new car, beautiful house, good job...
or in another way happiness is money.
however, for others, happiness is merely bringing happiness to people around them.
as for me, happiness comes to me when people i love and respect feel happy.

Snow, your definition made me think of altruism. Here is an interesting quote I found: “We find that not only do altruistic actions bring about happiness but they also lessen our experience of suffering. Here I am not suggesting that the individual whose actions are motivated by the wish to bring others happiness necessarily meets with less misfortune than the one who does not. Sickness, old age, mishaps of one sort or another are the same for us all. But the sufferings which undermine our internal peace, anxiety, doubt, disappointment, these things are definitely less. In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense.” -- Dalai Lama
